It is not compulsary to attend every club meeting, but you are required to attend a minimum of two meetings per year.

Whilst attending every meeting is not compulsary it is worth making the effort to attend as many meetings as you can.

Our monthly meetings are designed to keep our members up to date with the general running of our club and often many club decisions are made by members voting at the meetings.

It is a great opportunity for our club members to bring new ideas to the club to help it continuously improve, plus its great to catch up with other members.

We also have guest speakers attend our meeting along with sponsors and we also conduct raffles so theres a great opportunity to win some cool prizes!

This Isuzu 4x4 Club of WA Inc. holds it's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on the last weekend of July. This is where all general business for the year is discussed and electable committee positions are annouced.

"the only stupid question, is the one that doesn't get asked"

If you have a trip you would like to do and have not seen it in our trip calendar we want to know about it.

You can email your interest to info@isuzu4x4clubwa.com.au

We are also looking for members to actively engage and lead new trips, and as such we encourage all of our members to suggest trips and to lead them.

If you have never lead a trip before that is ok. We want you to learn and we will assist you in how to lead your first ever trip.

Leading trips is a very rewarding expereince and it also helps keep things fresh in the club.

We are very encouraging of new guests wishing to become new members and new members just starting out in the wonderful lifestyle of 4wdriving.

And as such if you do not have the minimum requirement please contact info@isuzu4x4clubwa.com.au so one of our friendly committee members can assist you.

A minimum you should aim to have -

• Licensed & roadworthy vehicle

• UHF Radio either a fixed unit or a handheld unit (5 watt is the recomended wattage for handheld radios)

• Rated recovery points front and rear of your vehicle or minimum a rated (recovery hitch)

• 2 x rated bow shackles

• 1 x snatch strap & damper blanket

• 1 x long handle shovel

• Air Compressor

• Tire Deflator

• Enough water for 24 hours per occupant.

• Hat

• Sunscreen

Great job on having the minimum 4WD equipment! For longer trips, consider adding: a High-Lift Jack or Exhaust Jack, a tarp, a jump pack or jumper leads, a torch with spare batteries, sunscreen, a notepad and pen, a Hema Navigator or paper map, a compass, a tire repair kit, spare filters (fuel, oil, air), spare drive belts and hoses, spare fuses, electrical tape, a basic tool kit, a folding shovel, and matches or a lighter. For extended trips, we coordinate to avoid carrying too much gear.

The outdoors can change its conditions at any moment.

We recommend doing a majority pack to suit the season, even in summer you can experience cold nights so we always recommend that you bring some warm clothing and vice versa.

Even in Winter you can experience some hot weather, so we recommend packing at least one set of warm weather clothes.

Now do not forget that even when the weather forecast is bright & sunny day’s anything can happen it is the weather after all, so do not forget to pack your wet weather gear.

Water is essential! We recommend at least 3 litres per day per adult and the same for children. For remote trips, carry an extra 3-5 days' worth. Don't keep all your water in one container; use water safe tanks, jerry cans, and bottles. This way, you have backup supplies in case of emergencies.

Yes, you often need to bring your own firewood. We love a good campfire story, but it's important to only have fires when it's safe and allowed. Bringing your own firewood helps protect the environment. Check the trip details so you don't forget and end up cold!

Fuel is critical for what we do, without enough it might end up in a long walk!

All attendees are required to have a full tank of fuel prior to the commencement of our Safety / Trip briefings.

Some of the places we visit require more than just the amount of fuel you can carry in your standard fuel tank. As such you will need to have a long range tank fitted or carry jerry cans.

It's really important that you read through our trips listed requirements and be suitably prepared.

Sometimes we can't always top up at a reputable service station, so we recomend that you carry a couple of spare fuel filters and or have a preline fuel filter installed.

Due to the nature of 4wdriving, vehicle damage is always possible. As a club we always try to minimise the chance of damage as much as possible.

We do this by rating all of our trips so you will know in advance how difficult the tracks are likely to be.

Along with our coaching and regular guidance our members will develope their skill set and ability to assess if they are able to tackle certain obsticles / terrain.

We have a club philosophy of "safe & sustainable 4wdriving practices"

As with many tracks around Western Australia it is very possible to scratch your 4wd. We try to limit this occurring by conducting track maintenance on the tracks we frequent most.

Unfortunately sometimes there is no way to avoid scratches.

Absolutely not! We promote safe and sustainable 4WD practices. Our club is a member of Track Care WA Inc. and works on projects with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation & Attractions. We maintain the tracks we use and always leave places better than we found them. We care deeply about the environment and your vehicle.
